Abstract: Xi Jinping's rule of law thought is an action guide for comprehensively promoting the rule of law in the New Era. So incorporating the thought into university students' legal education is of great significance to the prevention of penetration of foreign ideology, the cultivation of law-abiding citizens and the innovation of legal education system. However, problems do exist in the process, like the dominating position of Xi's thought into legal education needing to be further strengthened, the imperfection of the fusion system, and the inadequate play of fusion effect. As a result, it is necessary to further enhance the dominating position of Xi's rule of law thought, integrate its essence into the legal education system in universities, and take various measures to help the students learn the thought in deeds, so as to realize the mission of cultivating able law-abiding students and improve their legal thinking and capability.
